I have been in school for 14 days with 21 babies in Kindergarten. I come home extremely tired ready for bed. I get to school at 7:30 and stay until 5:30. I have no parapro so I am by myself. The students have specials first thing in the morning and lunch at 12:50. I have been going over rules and how to use classroom materials. I have a big range of kids. It so hard in the beginning of the year, but then I remember the tremendous gains they make at the end of the school year. I know things will get better in a few weeks.

It has been a long time since I have may a post. In the beginning of July I went on vacation and then I came home. Next out of the blue my son was extremely ill and I flew out to the hospital to take care of him. I came home when he was better and school was starting. I am now at school. My classroom is ready. This is my second day with 21 kindergartener and no parapros. They keep brings kids into my room. I have one student who just want to cry. He just came from Mexico and does not know English. I know very little Spanish. Two I had two parents who were very rude to me. I just am exhausted today. I need a good parent communication log for this class. Does anyone have one that I can use? I would greatly appreciate it.  I next post will be better. I just needed a place to talk to other teachers right now. Thanks!
